The BrattIeboro Monument
The Brattleboro soldiers monument
was dedicated with impressive cere-
monies last Friday. The procession
was an imposing affair. Ex-Governor
Holbrook was president of the day.
The orator of the day was Corporal

ire of the village common.
Murder at Brattleboro.
The body of Helen A. Burt, woman
about 30, was found in the Connecticut
river at Brattleboro Sunday morning.
Foul play is plainly evident from a
large cash in the head and the victims
skirts being drawn up and tied over her
head. The woman had been staying
in the families of William Trendall, an
Englishman, and John Sugland, me-
gro, the latter of whom bears hard
reputation. She was last seen in Sug-
lands company on the railroad track
Friday. The testimony of Sugland's
children show that he and the deceased
had an alteration some day last week
when he knocked her over the table.
Her pocketbook was found in her
stocking and her jewelry was intact.
Sugland is a wood chopper and has
been in this vicinity about 10 years.
The body was taken in charge by the
BrattlebOrO authorities who are taking
steps to apprehend the suspected
murderer.
The Vermont Christian Messenger
is sold to the Wesleyan association of
Boston and will be merged into ZiOn's
Herald. The committee appointed at
the late session of the Vermont annual
conference has approved of the trans
fer and the paper, after AZ years of
life becomes extinct. Owing to lack
of enterprise in its business manage
ment it had been steadily declining in
patronage for several years, and it had
long been evident that, unless it was
edited more ably and pushed more
vigorously, it's decease or absorption
was only a matter of time.

A Successful Experiment.

The School Savings Association in
augurated in the public schools of this
town in April has had two months
trial. The experiment has been every
way successful thus far. Pupils to the
number of 237 have opened accounts
and taken out books at the Passump-
sic bank, the total deposits for the two
months amounting to $20l AZ, averag
ing IS cents for each scholar. Much of
this success has been due to the teach
ers of the various schools who have
taken personal interest in the matter.
Below we give the number of scholars
in each school making deposits, the
school, the teacher, and the amount
deposited by each school:

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Congregationalists held their
annual state convention at Swanton
last week Tuesday and Wednesday at
which ST. Johnsbury was well repre-
scented. The exercises were very in
teresting throughout. Some matters
were of more or less local interest.
The report of the treasurer of the
Fairbanks Fund for ministers showed
that seven beneficiaries had been aided
during the year to the amount of $lIO0.
Amount of funds in the possession OF
trustees, $4,000. The report of the
Fairbanks Board of Education showed
that Ia students had been aided during
the year to the amount of 1915. En-
tire funds, $4,000. OF the Ia students
aided by the board three remain in
college, three in academies, the balance
having graduated.
The meeting of the Vermont DOmes-
tic Missions society, presided over by
it's president, Rev. Henry Fairbanks,
was specially interesting.
The year has been notable for min
isterial changes. Fifteen churches
have exchanged the services of one
minister for those of another. Eleven
reported vacant last year now have
ministers; % have become vacant.
Eight pastors have been dismissed
eight have been installed. Of the 1913
churches SO have settled pastors lis
have acting pastors or stated supply /;
and % are without regular supply.
During the year the additions to the
churches upon confession of faith have
been Lis; by letter, 494; removals
by death, 39l; by dismission, 500
and by discipline, $50. The net gain
has been $50. The benevolent con-
tributions have reached the sum OF
$55,6l5.64, not equaled since 1882.
Rev. Henry Fairbanks made a re-
port for the committee on county evan
gelization, making good use of his en-
cyclOp@dic map.
Among the speakers at the meeting
of the Vermont branch of the WOman's
board was Mrs. Montgomery, who
thought it difficult for those who live
among the beautiful and luxuriant hills
of Vermont to realize the contrast with
the barren plains of Turkey. The
moral and religious contrast is not less
marked. The cross must mean for us
not ornament but self-sacrifice.
On the board of officers from this
section of the state for the coming
year are Rev. Henry Fairbanks and
D. M. Camp, trustees. Following are

AN OLD FAvORITE.

Under the lamp-light dead in the street,
Delicate, fair and only twenty,
There she lies,
Face to the skies,
starved TO death in a city ofplenty.
Spurned by all that is pure and sweet,
Passed by busy and careless feet;
Hundreds bent upon folly and pleasure,
Hundreds with plenty of time and leisure
Leisure to speed Christ's mission below,
To teach the erring and raise the lowly,
Plenty in Chai'ity's name TO show
That life has something divine and holy.
Toasted charms, classical brow,
Delicate features, look at them now:
Look ut her lips-once they could smile;
Eyes-wel, nevermore shall they beguiie;
Nevermore, nevermore words of hers
A blush shall bring to The saintiest face.
She has found let us hope and trust,
Peace in II higher and better place.
And yet, despite OF all, still ween,
Joy of some hearth she must have been,
some fond mother, fond of the task,
Has stopped to finger the dainty curl;
Some proud father has bowed to ask
\ blessing for her, his darling girl,
Hard to think as we look at her there,
Ofall the tenderness, love and care,
Lonely watching, and sore heart-ache-
All the agony, burning tears
JOYS and sorrows, hopes and fears,
Breathed and suffered for her sweet sake.
Fancy will picture a home afar.
ont where the daiscs and buttercUps are,
ont where the life giving breezes flow,
Far from those sodden streets, foul and low;
Fancy will picture Il lonely hearth,
And an aged couple, dead TO mirth,
kneeling beside II bed to pray,
or lying awake o'nights to bark
For things that may come III the rain an
dlrk--
y hollow-eyed woman with weary feet
Better they never know
She whom they cherished so
Lies this night lone and low
Dead in the street.

Coal in the Metropolis.

Oscar w. Riggs says in the New York
Mall and ErpreSS: Nearly all the coal
brought to New York comes in canal
boats carrying 100 tons, or in cars from
fifteen to twenty tons. This coal is not
ers. The railroad cars and canal boats
arc first unloadel at some one of the
numerous coal depots on the New Jersey
shore. 1t is sent over to the city in canal
boats as rule, though to some extent in
cars. Some of the retailers do very ex-
tensive business, having from ten to
twenty different offices There are many
brokers who, while ostensibly dealers
themselves, are really supplied from re-
tailers, from whom they receive a COM
mission. The poor in tenements, having
no place IN which to store coal, are
obliged to buy it by the pail, and are
thus forced forced to pay about double
the usual price by the ton. Cheap flats
aud some of the tenements are supplied
IN cloth bags holding 100 pounds;
thee bags obviate the sprink ing of
coal dust on the stairs and in
the rooms, and are really q useful in
vention; the quantity of coal they con-
tain usually costs about thirty cents, but
this price was doubled recently by reason
of the scar ity. The companies in the
Pennsylvania coal combination produce
in the aggregate $1,000 geo tons annu-
ally. New York, Philadelphia and
Boston are the great coal markets. Phia-
delphia, though nearer the coal fields,
has at times had to pay quite higher
prices than the other two cities, the tax
thus levied on It's citizens by the corpora
tions which they themselves created
amounting in one year, it is estimated,
to s., $50, 900. This resulted from the
lower rates of freight granted to the
more distant market. An inquiry two
years ago showed that Philadelphia, at
a distance of only ninety miles from the
coal fields, paid a retail price of $3.50
per ton; New York, 1870 miles away, paid
only 50. Baltimore, 1873 miles distant,
paid So, and Boston, still stranger to
say, though 354 miles away, paid onl
So per ton.
